Trying to take my live music stuff into this electronic. I've got a live band who know this song pretty well, but I don't know if it's really getting where I want it to be

Kind of happy with how the guitar recording went but I've now got to mix this and add effects. Beyond getting a basic balance idk what I'm doing really, so input on mixing this would be appreciated

If that makes sense? Anyone have dedicated mixing/mastering style experience here willing to offer some advice?

Thinking it'll fade out at the end, btw

the mixing sounds solid but not great. keys a lttle too muffled or at least the lack of a bright presence anywhere. the guitar sounds cool. feels like the whole thing needs compressed and brightened tho. i really like the transition back into the keys. cool shit

Yeah, it's not anything other than 'make everything mostly balanced' cause idk what I'm doing. There's also no keys, my voicings are just that tight. I'll play around with brightening it up a bit though, I'm trying to keep it fairly dark so I'm sure it'll need color. thanks for the listen boss
